President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to resign
as commander-in-chief of the federation by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) over his inability to stir the
nation towards economic success.

The party on Thursday, November 5 said Buhari does not
deserve to remain president for admitting that the nation
is broke.
The party said the comment was a clear manifestation of
his inability to lead the country.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, the PDP
publicity secretary in Edo state, Chris Nehikhareto,
challenged Buhari to publish account balances of all
transactions by previous PDP led government under former
president Goodluck Jonathan and the APC led government
under him since assumption of office.
Nehikhareto said Buhari’s lamentation is “annoying”,
adding that the president was looking for excuses after
boasting to the whole world that he will fix Nigeria.
He said: “President Buhari should show Nigerians the
account balances and how much money he met in the
coffers of the federal government since he came in.
“He has not shown anybody the accounts balance as at
today. If he says the government is broke and he cannot
manage it he should resign and handover power to
someone who has responsibility and can manage the
economy better.”
“The lamentation of Mr. President and his APC government
is becoming annoying and I don’t think we should tolerate
any more lamentation. They fought tooth and nail to take
over government and now they have government, let them
deal with it”, Nehikhareto stressed.
The opposition party earlier accused President
Muhammadu Buhari of making negative statements on
Nigeria’s economy and demarketing the country.
